BRS Opposes Farm Land Acquisition for Proposed Bullet Train Station
The BRS is objecting to a plan to acquire farmland in Bahadurpally.
The land could be used for a station connected to a bullet train project.
BRS leader K. T. Rama Rao said his party supports the train project itself.
However, he said farmland should not be taken if government-owned land is available elsewhere.
He suggested using unused land near Rajiv Gandhi International Airport.
He also questioned why about 1,000 acres would be needed for the station.
Rama Rao alleged that the land could be acquired cheaply for real estate interests linked to Congress leaders.
He asked farmers not to sign away their land and promised to support their legal challenge.
BRS said it opposes acquiring farmland in Bahadurpally for a proposed bullet train station.
K. T. Rama Rao said the party supports the bullet train project but rejects taking agricultural land when government land is available.
Rama Rao suggested using unused land near Rajiv Gandhi International Airport instead.
He questioned the need to acquire about 1,000 acres, saying a smaller area may be sufficient.
Rama Rao urged farmers not to sign away their land and pledged continued legal action, potentially up to the Supreme Court.
